To train for her role as Erin Lindsay,
a tough-as-nails detective on the
NBC TV show Chicago P.D., actress
Sophia Bush, 32, relied on the
expertise of local law enforcement
(the real-life Chicago SWAT team)
to get the details of her character
right. Off-camera, she’s a socialmedia maven with a flair for cooking
and a fresh approach to fashion.
home style I’m much more put
together on a day off than when I go
in to work. I love how fashion allows
you to express your mood, whether
you’re wearing a high-waisted leather
culotte, a cropped sweater and pumps
or a vintage dress from the 1940s.
A colorful top (with fun
peekaboo trim) says a
big hello to spring. Color
cue: Canary yellow is the
season’s hot hue.

Instagram or twitter? Both!
Instagram makes it easy to find out
what people you truly care about are
saying. On the flip side, I love that
Twitter is always updating — it’s a great
way to keep up with current events.
